[00:01] should i kill myself? [00:01] nevermoreraven: probably [00:01] why? [00:01] please do [00:02] hm , maybe i could make a page with a movie i make for pple to see and get paid through that ;) [00:03] why does everyone like elementaryos so much latel [00:03] because it's simple and works [00:03] the packages are so ancient compared to debian or ubuntu though [00:03] iksf, it looks like a mac and it's free [00:04] how do you enable a location bar in nautilus btw keep forgetting to change that [00:04] really annoying to me [00:05] Can someone assist me with setting up wireless driver on ubuntu 14.04 on MacBook Pro 2010 [00:05] please don't say gconf im done with that [00:06] AR45_: broadcom device? [00:06] iksf, dconf? [00:06] gconf ;) [00:06] dconf ;) [00:06] * ObrienDave covers all bases ;P [00:06] daftykins: yes please private message me [00:07] AR45_: no, we do not PM here. help remains in channel to benefit others [00:07] !broadcom | AR45_ [00:07] AR45_: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [00:07] daftykins: Listen! I'm on my Ubuntu LiveUSB ATM! Which for some funny reason picks up my WIFI NETWORK. [00:08] AR45_: this is a good thing. [00:08] daftykins: BUT GUESS WHAT? After installed and my computer rebooted from the HD. There's NO WIFI NETWORK. [00:08] AR45_: if the installed version does not, install again but disable 'update whilst installing' [00:08] AR45_: stop using caps please else i will stop talking to you [00:09] daftykins: So... I got back on the LiveUSB! [00:09] I am having issues with filezilla not looking correctly in ubuntu unity, I don't know what settings to teak to fix this: http://i.imgur.com/fpuuh8v.png I boxed in red the graphics glitches that are happening. I have ATI 6770 and using fglx-update driver. [00:10] daftykins: & downloaded `bcmwl-kernel-source` but when I tried to install it needed dkms! [00:10] daftykins: So now I'm back on the `LiveUSB` and I downloaded dkms. [00:11] daftykins: but I think I figured it out! [00:12] !apt-offline [00:12] * genii smacks the bot [00:12] AR45_: so why are you asking for help if you already have a legitimate approach to solve the problem? [00:13] daftykins: because I have no idea what im doing? [00:14] AR45_: you could follow what i suggested, then [00:15] daftykins: You just sent me a link. With commands to run on a device that has no internet. [00:15] AR45_: do you have a ethernet cable to get the files you need while not in live? [00:15] AR45_: ... but you said it works from a live session. you can save a file and transfer it. [00:15] stianhj: No that's the problem! [00:15] AR45_: if you're going to be awkward about following things then i'm going to struggle to want to continue. [00:16] AR45_: or maybe an android device where you can use usb tethering? don't know about iphones but android usb tethering works out of the box for me [00:16] stianhj: I have a flash drive [00:16] !offline [00:16] If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. See also !APTonCD [00:17] Meh, Synaptic [00:17] it works ;P [00:18] stianhj: I download http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/fakeroot [00:18] stianhj: because it's needed for bcmwl [00:18] i still say reinstall with updates disabled, see lovely working wifi, then update manually [00:20] daftykins: here is my plan http://imgur.com/yF3PY5d [00:21] AR45_: kinda agree with daftykins, it's been a long while since if done what your're about to do, but i seem to recall it not being pleasant [00:21] if you have another machine online, that helps [00:22] AR45_: but you're pretty far along, so dpkg -i some stuff and see what happens [00:27] AR45_: out of interest, have you kept OS X beside or is this the only OS? [00:27] crap fakeroot has dependencies! [00:28] Oh shoot! hahah it worked! [00:28] I'm so legend! [00:28] AR45: out of interest, have you kept OS X beside or is this the only OS? [00:29] Hello, does Ubuntu 14.04 use Mir or X by default? [00:29] daftykins: wiped it by accident [00:29] I don't know how to check [00:29] daftykins: time to figure that part out now.. [00:29] ashley01: mir is experimental and not enabled yet. [00:30] !mir [00:30] Mir is the next-generation display server currently under development by Canonical and Ubuntu. It's slated for inclusion in Ubuntu 14.04. For more information on it, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mir/Spec . For code, see https://launchpad.net/mir [00:30] ugh factoid update required [00:30] thanks [00:32] daftykins: how can i check what graphics card driver i need? [00:32] AR45: do you use nvidia or amd gpu? [00:32] and you can go to Software & Updates, it has a tab for drivers [00:32] 'additional drivers' iirc [00:33] AR45: ^ same as i'd have said :> [00:33] i use an ATI card so i get a choice for 1 open-source and 2 proprietary [00:33] ashley01: yes but when i click on them and hit apply changes they don't go, that was the problem with my wireless [00:34] AR45: tell us what you're being offered. nvidia? === sythe is now known as sythe-away [00:34] daftykins: yes nvidia [00:35] AR45: ok open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "apt-cache search nvidia | pastebinit" and share the URL here [00:36] okay one second so i can will open irc on desktop [00:38] just type it out by hand, they're short URLs [00:39] daftykins: graphic drivers crashed my computer it had to restart [00:40] AR45: as in the currently in use driver, or? [00:40] could do with more information [00:40] daftykins: the currently in use one [00:40] what made you identify it as the culprit? [00:42] daftykins: the currently in use one [00:42] what made you identify it as the culprit? [00:42] because the screen freezes completely [00:42] so it could actually be the kernel as a whole? [00:43] daftykins: it just froze and crashed again... [00:43] you're not giving me any new information [00:43] daftykins: not sure but things are a bit slow and faulty [00:46] https://i.imgur.com/RpvhhCo.jpg [00:46] AR45: ok still waiting on the output of the commands shared before, if X keeps failing drop to a TTY instead maybe [00:46] daftykins: look [00:47] AR45: that is not a pastebin to available nvidia packages [00:47] daftykins: do you think its the kernel? [00:47] i have no way of knowing until you try some things [00:48] i'm actually going to have to go, i don't really have time unless you can run things as i say them [00:51] daftykins: Okay on my desktop.. What would you like me to run? [00:52] daftykins: My cell phone IRC app seemed to be delaying msgs in/out [00:52] AR45_: i'm sorry i'm out, i typed commands ages ago === night-ow_ is now known as night-owl [00:56] daftykins: don't go man it crashed again [00:56] daftykins: what command do you want to see [00:56] ? [00:57] Is there a way to create a bash one liner that runs two different commands, but allows the output from only one command to the terminal? I tried "commandone & commandtwo" and got the output of both. [00:58] daftykins: my friend [00:58] daftykins: I am here === havanamint is now known as havanamint_afk === havanamint_afk is now known as havana === havana is now known as havanamint_afk [01:09] thurstylark: Put "&> /dev/null" after the command you don't want to show on the console. [01:10] thurstylark: And put a semi-colon after the first command. [01:12] rypervenche: So if I want the first command to be silent, "command1 &> /dev/null; command2" [01:12] sound right? [01:12] thurstylark: Yep^^ Some older bash versions won't be able to take the &> part, but yours should be fine. [01:13] thurstylark: Oh, you'll probably want the & actually instead of ; if you want them to run simultaneously. [01:13] I need to write a find command that finds all directories over a certain age under a specific path, removes all of the files within the directory and then does an rmdir on the directory itself === Mythos is now known as Mithosz [01:14] rypervenche: Alrighty. Yeah, I'm on 14.04, so it should handle it. [01:14] rypervenche: thanks! [01:14] I've tried the following https://gist.github.com/dstarh/5dd791c24ddb0cdb54a8 and no dice [01:15] * updated to show output [01:16] dstarh: You can do it all in one command, but that is not the correct way. [01:16] rypervenche: I know i can rm -rf {} but I've been given instructions not to do so [01:17] i need to specificaly empty the directory then rmdir it [01:17] /usr/bin/find /pgbackups/backups/ -mtime +4 -type d -name "nbackup_*" -exec /bin/echo /bin/rm -rf {} \; [01:17] dstarh: Why? [01:18] boss doesn't want cron jobs doing rm -rf [01:18] regardless of the why, is it possible [01:19] It's just as dangerous as doing it your way. Yes it is, but running an asterisk like that, I would say is more dangerous. [01:20] the asterisk started out as *.dat.gz and *.dat. There are only 2 types of files within each directory [01:21] i'm assuming the /bin/rm {}/* is not expanding correctly or something thus getting the file not found errors [01:23] I do not believe that is a valid way of doing it, nor would I recommend using an asterisk to remove files. I would tell you to use the -delete option in find. You may have to pipe find into another find command once you have found the directories that you need. Are they only one level deep or are there other directories within them? [01:25] only one level deep [01:27] How do I print what shell is running? [01:27] Like, if I'm running bash, what can I run to print that it's running bash? [01:29] thurstylark: echo $SHELL === vemacs|ded is now known as vemacs [01:31] Does streamup.com work with ubuntu? It tells me I need to update flash player although I installed the most recent flashplugin.so in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [01:31] dstarh: Really, not using rm -rf is going to make this very hacky. You'll need to run a find command to get a list of directories, then pipe it into a for loop and run another find command to delete the files within each of those directories, and then rmdir the directories. [01:32] i installed the latest libflashplayer.so i mean. [01:34] dstarh: Your boss needs to understand that there is no problem with running an rm -rf, so long as your find options are very specific. It's less optimal doing it his way simply because he is afraid. But if he won't listen to you, then you're stuck doing that :/ === havanamint_afk is now known as havanamint [01:58] should I kill myself? [02:00] Negative. Suicide is never part of the mission. "Front towards enemy." [02:00] I have finally allowed update manager to upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 process went fine until reboot to complete. Now I am left at Mythbuntu splash/progress screen, no alternate tty sessions, and I can't ssh in either. Suggestions ? [02:07] !nomodeset | hipitihop [02:07] hipitihop: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [02:08] hipitihop: i'd be willing to bet any proprietary graphics drivers have not been built for your running kernel, assuming it's even booting [02:09] daftykins, prior to upgrade I installed latest 3.16 kernel and all was fine. I had also booted from 14.04 mythbuntu live cd and also was fine, does any of that alter the diagnosis ? [02:10] daftykins, although afaik 14.04 standard kernel is 3.13 [02:11] hipitihop: nope and yes, 3.13 [02:12] daftykins, also final bit of extra info, this is am MSI H97Iac mobo with i5s onboard intel HD graphics [02:12] hipitihop: ah i see, SSH'able on boot? === Guest33821 is now known as mfisch [02:13] daftykins, I can ping but ssh refused === mfisch is now known as Guest10736 [02:14] hipitihop: i'd boot a live session again, mount the volume... read some logs. [02:14] hipitihop: truth be told though, i'd nuke it. [02:16] daftykins, yeh nuke is preffered but I have a handful of services on which I was really trying to avoid having to rebuild squeezeserver, fusionspbx, ossec server etc [02:17] daftykins, also have existing mythtv recordings on same drive === kevin is now known as Guest38777 [02:17] Hello all! Anyone here use Kik messenger on Ubuntu? I have not found any useful links on how to use it yet. Thank you.

[02:24] daftykins, nonetheless I'm not sure where the db is kept ... grrr this is turning out to be more work then I wanted... will see if there is a previous kernel in grub menu [02:28] hi i uploaded my site files and gave permission to anonymous users allowed to read the files but i cant see any pictures when i go to my website.

Thanks for trying [02:33] \dafty [02:33] no one answers me there [02:33] and in the apache channel? [02:34] kuld: the problem is i can already see that what you've said is totally wrong, configuring your site's permissions has nothing to do with 'anonymous access' - so you really need to put the time in to learn how to operate a web server properly [02:34] kuld: you couldn't just come here the day your site and system gets hacked and expect someone to piece it all back together for you :) [02:34] kuld: what's the URL [02:34] how do i pm [02:34] someone [02:35] kuld: you don't unless they invite you to [02:35] ok [02:35] the site is ruda.ca [02:35] it isnt showing any images [02:36] ive tried fixing this for 2 days now [02:36] I got a strange problem about swap: ubuntu 14 server. device-mapper: ioctl: Unable to change name on mapped device cryptswap1_unformatted to one that already exists: cryptswap1. so the server can't do swap on. === administrator is now known as Guest39573 [02:36] I got a strange problem about swap: ubuntu 14 server. device-mapper: ioctl: Unable to change name on mapped device cryptswap1_unformatted to one that already exists: cryptswap1. so the server can't do swap on.

[03:31] n-iCe: I'd say stay with 14.04... It's stable, unless you want cutting-edge, then go with the most latest version (which can be a pain to maintain for people). [03:31] farva: when it prompts you [03:31] ahh gotcha [03:31] last question, how do I set my DNS again? There is a file I can edit...

I don't know hoe filezilla works with ssh. If you use the command line you know what you are entering [03:53] AR45_: you don't but you SHOULD be ablt to hit ctrl-alt-F2 and get to a terminal-only session where you can log in and run those two commands [03:54] gartral: will give it a try [03:55] AR45_: switch off to your phone, too, for good measure [03:55] somsip: how do I specify the port? it is trying to connect me to 22, but my ssh port is not default [03:56] I tried ssh name@host:port [03:56] and that got me no where [03:56] farva: man scp. you use -P for port [03:57] I hate to ask for examples, but I don't know anything about this stuff...I am in way over my head could you be more specific please?

[04:00] farva: a good place to start is man man, it's a manual that tells you how to read the manuals [04:00] gartral: [04:00] farva: if you want to know how to access a port, type 'man scp' then use / to search and type 'port' and it shows to use -P. [04:00] send list of programs to download [04:00] we transfered files using wget cuz my old host didn't want to give us ftp access [04:00] gartral: couldn't get in like that will do a clean install [04:00] AR45: wait [04:01] ty guys for the useful info =] [04:01] farva: then you ssh to one and wget from the other. But that's the first time you've said these were files served by a web server [04:01] gartral: also im on a macbook pro 7,1 (2010) [04:01] AR45: do you have something like a 30-second wait before the system actually "boots up" [04:01] maybe I was not clear, I have a dedicated server, and I am upgrading to a new machine, I run ubuntu on both [04:01] gartral: yes [04:02] photoshop for linux what should i use [04:02] farva: dedicated servers can be anything. I still think you should use scp though [04:02] yea, reading up on it, it seems the safest option [04:03] Guest18447: gimp, pinta, krita maybe [04:05] AR45: at the white screen start holding left shift.. you'll (hopefully) be presented with a GRUB page, drop down to to the Recovery Mode entry and try that... [04:05] my 12.04.5 LTS server has a 3.2 kernel, but im being told by zimbra that 3.0 to 3.9 isnt supported and supposedly canonical doesnt even support them anymore and its only 3.13 and above as of august. If thats the case, why isnt apt-get upgrade seeing the newer kernel? All the instructions im seeing for updating the kernel are for installing the raring or another releases kernel on an precise syste [04:05] m and thats obviously not correct. Suggestions? [04:05] well...the manual is pretty useless to me, I don't know what it is talking about with protocols or what I am supposed to deduce from the synopsis...I know you guys are trying to teach my how to fish, but I don't know how to tie the hook on the line here [04:06] so I understand scp name@host:dir/from name@host:dir/to [04:06] but how do I add the port to that? [04:06] MACscr: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [04:06] you can already install the trusty kernel/video drivers [04:07] farva: scp -P {port number} Are both ports different? [04:07] they are the same [04:07] my bad, didnt mention that its a virtual machien with a virtual kernel [04:07] 3.2.0-31-virtual irc://irc.freenode.net:6667/#50-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 7 16:36:36 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [04:07] so the enablement stack wouldnt apply [04:08] so the whole string would be: scp -P port user@host:dir/from -R user@host:dir/to [04:08] and installing a trusty kernel is not obviously an official and supported Precise kernel [04:08] it is in ubuntu official repositories so it is [04:09] gartral: no luck [04:09] farva: yes, though usually -P and -R would be together. Most commands are happy if they are split, but some complain if one is interspersed with required arguments, so best to get into good habits. [04:09] farva: scp -P port -R ...etc... [04:09] gotcha, thanks for the correction =] [04:09] having it in an official ubuntu repo has nothing to do it being LTS [04:10] Im running Precise and i can only use Precise kernels [04:10] gartral: this is a complicated problem [04:10] i use ksplice, so i cant use any other kernels [04:10] besides what is supported for Precise [04:11] AR45: ok then... re install, but run those commands I gave you BEFORE you reboot after installing the nvidia drivers.. for reference they are "sudo nvidia-xconfig" "rm -rf ./.Xauthority" [04:11] gartral: appreciate the effort.. hopefully it works [04:12] Can I do something like freebsd multiple routing tables? Ie by default use eth0, and specify what apps should use tun0 (vpn) interface? [04:15] SASDOE: apt-cache search routing show a few interesting [04:15] exit [04:16] lotuspsychje: Thanks [04:17] SASDOE: your end goal is to tunnel specific apps trough the vpn only? [04:18] somsip: when I use option -R after my port it tells me it is an illegal option, when I put it after the directory I am pulling files from, it tells me there is no such directory...what am I doing wrong? http://gyazo.com/50c1856538296fb1adf3e5b97167727b [04:18] lewq: [04:18] lotuspsychje: yes.

[04:27] lotuspsychje: I'll look into it, cheers [04:29] i am having trouble getting mv command to work and idk why. it is taking a lot of time although its move in same partition. for example i do mv /c/stuff/* /c/news. /c/ is mounted as is and is the root mount. I've also been using chroot after i mounted it [04:29] farva: no idea about those.

[04:31] ok =] [04:31] shot*. [04:31] though, I know I didn't change it lol I can give it a go [04:31] farva: looks like some bad editing by a previous user [04:32] farva: from the man page: (note that keywords are case-insensitive and arguments are case-sensitive) [04:32] so not sure that helps.

[04:37] okay, then how does that look? [04:37] this is so confusing...why can;t I just copy it over =[ [04:37] When I do an md5sum on ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-i386.iso, I get something other than what is shown here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes#A14.04_LTS [04:38] farva: ssh -p port user@destination-host then cd /path/to/folder/ and scp -P port -r user@source-host:/source/path/ ./ [04:38] <__unik> farva: whats your problem? [04:39] __unik: somsip is helping me, its just tedious and confusing lol [04:39] farva: you are using a number instead of 'port' aren't you? [04:39] <__unik> farva ok [04:39] yes [04:39] k [04:40] so how does this work I don't understand...should I be on the destination server running these commands or the original server? do I need to do this from both sides? [04:41] farva: you either ssh to the destination and scp to 'copy files from source to here' or ssh to the source and scp to 'copy these files to that server over there' === Armadillos is now known as Armadillos-Sleep [04:46] my md5sum for 14.04-1 does not match what is shown online.

[04:48] somsip: so I have the ssh to scp down, but when I go to copy the files, it keeps telling me that the connection is refused on port 22, but we are telling it port 3927 [04:48] ...and also... why is the download page http and not ssl? seems my browser could be more certain about spoofing if ssl was used.

See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [04:50] ubottu, thanks,i'll have a try [04:50] bajin-lee: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:51] farva: looks like you must use SSH when both servers use non-standard ports. So either ssh to one server and scp from/to the other, or you're wrapping the scp in an ssh command which is adding complexity ssh -p XXX user@host scp -P XXX /file user@otherhost:/otherfile [04:51] ubottu,thank you anyway [04:51] bajin-lee: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:51] I was connected with ssh from my destination [04:51] I guess, try it the other way around? [04:53] farva: i couldn't see that from the paste. There is no need to specify the server if the file is local to the server. Just scp -P {other server port} -r /path/locally user@other-server:/path/remotely [04:54] ok [04:54] ty =] [04:54] (fingers crossed) [04:54] farva: that to put it from this server to that server. scp -P {port} -r user@otherserver:path /this/server/path to do it the other way [04:54] kk =] [05:00] somsip: connection timed out [05:01] going from the source to the target [05:01] farva: I can't help you with that one. Maybe that's the KeepAlive setting in the ssh_config. Did you comment them out or correct them? [05:01] I commented them out, I can add them back in [05:01] why cant 'ubuntu mono'-font show unicode heart in irssi ? [05:02] is there a modified version ? [05:02] farva: worth a try.

[05:08] it gave me the error from them being present [05:08] I had to edit them out, and so yes, still timing out [05:09] farva: that's very poor. Is it a crap host? [05:09] no, I never have network issues with them [05:09] I have a feeling it is something I have set some where...being new and all, I probably messed something up [05:09] farva: is this your connection to them, or connection between them?

[05:12] farva: any way you could transfer smaller directories each time? Otherwise you'd need something like rsync (resumable transfers). But to lose connections is not good at all. Maybe the hosting company can explain why? Maybe they enforce a timeout? [05:12] whzddoutput: I can't help you with it.

[05:21] xD [05:21] sorta [05:21] physixer: by lfs do you mean Linux From Scratch? [05:21] somsip: yes [05:21] physixer: then you misunderstand what LFS is about [05:22] somsip: i just mean minimalize my ubuntu. remove ubuntu-desktop etc [05:22] physixer, [05:22] !mini [05:22] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [05:23] physixer: yeah - easier to build up from minimal than to pare down from a full install. Though ISTR a page on pychocats (pyschonauts?) that suggests how to remove stuff [05:24] physixer: google "psychocats remove ubuntu" and see what might help you on there. too many to link to the right one by chance [05:24] cfhowlett, somsip: ok if I have to do a reinstall, I'd need an easy way to generate a list of packages I manually installed, so that I can reinstall them on new installation [05:24] physixer, dpkg -l will list your packages [05:25] cfhowlett: doesn't that list 'all' packages, that's a huge list for me [05:26] physixer: something like this *may* work https://kura.io/2010/07/02/using-dpkg-selections-to-backup-and-install-packages/ [05:26] I want to try out xnomad w dmenu however the install is est to be 500mb...is this right? i thought xnomad is very lightweight [05:26] physixer, cat /var/log/dpkg* | grep "\ installed\ " [05:28] also I'm kinda afraid of doing a reinstall a 4-year old install (installed 10.04 then upgraded to 12.04 then upgraded to 14.04).

[05:30] cfhowlett: thanks. [05:30] physixer, happy2help [05:30] I was wondering is there's a way to warn about logged in, unattended tty[1..6] to tty7/GUI or another place. [05:31] I just set up a Kubuntu with “guided encrypted LVM” and it seems to work just fine. Is that done with LUKS in the background, meaning that the AES module in the Intel i5 can work such that I do not have a CPU impact? [05:32] yes, it uses LUKS [05:32] sqwaw: check `w` or `who` for other logins. You could write a script to parse that output [05:32] rww: Is there a reson why it uses a LVM and not a plain encrypted partition? [05:32] wow, why didn't i realize that. sometimes the simplest is the easiest :) [05:32] systemclient: so that there can be multiple partitions inside it. e.g. / and swap [05:33] sqwaw: yeah, the old tools are very powerful. Old often means mature :-) [05:33] i'm mature, err, old ;P [05:33] rww: ah, so it is an encrypted partition with a LVM with multiple partitions. Seems like a good idea :-) [05:35] rww: is there a way to disable swap in that LVM in the default isntaller? Guess I have to use the text installer then?

Desktop support ended on May 9, 2013. See !upgrade, !lts and !eol for more details. [06:16] penguin1: way out of support. Best to replace it with somethign that is not affected by the exploit [06:16] penguin1: you could always download from source, compile (make) and install with dpkg -i bash[vnumber].deb [06:16] penguin1: hit up #ubuntu-server [06:16] But yes update distro [06:16] gartral: yes ofc [06:17] SASDOE: do you have a link where I can update ubuntu server 11.10 from source? [06:17] AR45: does the command ls -la /home// | grep .Xa dhow anything? [06:19] penguin1: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/ but why don't you update? You are probably vulnerable to many other vulns. Update distro. [06:19] gartral: shows nothing [06:20] SASDOE:thanks for the link. if I will update bash alone, does it have impact to other running services like mysql-server, apache2 and etc. since it's already EOL ? [06:22] AR45: ok, then that's actually a good thing.. and was a matter of precaution. does less /etc/X11/xorg.conf show anything? [06:23] hello guys please tell me is it to possible to run .bat file on linux? [06:23] on windows emulator most likely [06:23] sorry for ma poor english m only 13years old [06:23] iscorpion: as in, windows batch files? [06:23] yes [06:23] penguin1: Shouldn't, but as I said, updating bash alone is pretty much useless security wise if you stay on 11.10. Many vulns have been discovered since. But hey you seem pretty confident, good luck. [06:24] .sh files do the same thing, easier might be to rewrite it [06:24] gartral: yes yes it does [06:24] AR45 : HOW? [06:25] gartral: shows x configuration file generated by nvidia-config [06:25] iscorpion: simple answer; No.. but depending on what it does you may be able to write a corrisponfing shell script. longer answer; not and have it do exactly what you'ed expect, unless it just launches an application... [06:25] iscorpion: AR45 was talking to me [06:25] SASDOE: I'm worrying in upgrading the live production server into a new distro, because I can't guess if it will works properly after the upgrade [06:26] gatral: i just want to install cwm using linux on android [06:26] cwm has .bat file [06:26] penguin1: That's what virtual machines are for [06:26] How to paste something into shell ?

[06:28] AR45: GOOD! hit Q, and type "nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" find the section called "Section "Device"" and add this line to the bottom of it. Capitolization is very important here, make sure you write it correctly. Ctrl-O then Ctrl-X will write the change and close the file respectively Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1" [06:28] penguin1: No idea but I'm pretty sure google has the answer. [06:29] SASDOE: haha!, by the way what are you using as virtual machine host? [06:29] thanks all i will try to learn shell scripts [06:29] exit [06:30] penguin1: everything will work fine except for hosted websites, which will need updated configuration.. [06:31] gartal:can you give me sample VM backup utility? [06:31] gartral: done (but I did these steps before fyi) [06:33] penguin1: what are you using for virtualization? [06:33] gartral: I'm using qemu-kvm [06:35] penguin1: ugh.. [06:36] hello [06:36] penguin1: http://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/CreateSnapshot [06:36] problem: When playing files on VLC media player video quality seems reduced from previous versions. [06:37] running Kubuntu 14.10 [06:37] is this a problem with my download or could there be something wrong with graphics driver? [06:38] AR45: really? hrm.. [06:38] when video plays with intense motion there are streaks across the screen, and even with 720p + files the quality seems blurry and choppy [06:38] thanks for that info gartral! [06:38] gartral: so what now? [06:38] AR45: looking.. [06:42] AR45: I'm not seeing much.. so my recomendation now is reboot and cross your fingers :/ I'm out of ideas [06:42] anyone having problems with apt repos? I'm trying do-release-upgrade and seeing: Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com saucy/main Translation-en_US [06:43] !saucy | jbj1, [06:43] jbj1,: Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) was the 19th release of Ubuntu. Support ended on July 17th, 2014. See !eol, !upgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/saucy [06:43] AR45: also, before you go, keep in mind that make a point of not touch apple hardware/software with a ten-meter pole if I can avoid it, fer more-or-less precisely this reason.. [06:44] ahh ok, so that's why the upgrade script was failing... hmmm, so I wonder if I should just let the upgrade proceed... [06:44] gartral: and x crashed again.. now I have to figure out how to install ubuntu without efi mode or something of the sort [06:44] AR45, sad to say, but I agree with gartral. my 2009 dell is due to be replaced and I've been tech-lusting at the Mac Air ... BUT [06:45] jbj1, end of life upgrade? better perhaps to download the 14.04 iso and install [06:45] cfhowlett: eh... [06:45] bummer guys.. I'm sad [06:46] guys help me how to configure gamepad custom in ubuntu 14.04 [06:46] AR45: for *THAT* I think I can solve your question https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation#Single-Boot:_Ubuntu_Only [06:46] I'm upgrading from 6,417 miles away... ;-) [06:46] jbj1, oh, some REMOTE upgrade! fun ... === ptaszynka is now known as goldalex [06:47] I'm a bit bolder than I should be since I've gotten away with it a bunch of times... [06:48] jbj1: ew... remote upgrades.. I don't do those unless I know I can get a hold of competent hands at the datacenter in case things go sour [06:49] gartral: yeeeeeaaahhh, so if things go terribly wrong I can get someone there but I might have to wait until the weekend [06:50] jbj1: then wait, don't start until you have "boots on-deck" at the facility. === goldalex is now known as ptaszynka [06:51] jbj1: that or, if possible, clone the deployment to a local disk, do your upgrades in a vm, and then re-deploy [06:51] yeeeaaaah trouble is it's actually in my house so I could get someone to go there but I wouldn't want to ask unless I really needed it [06:52] so it's a bit sticky :-) [06:52] jbj1: ah.. [06:52] jbj1: I know that feeling, I run my own servers too === ptaszynka is now known as ptaszynka_ [06:56] he-he, yeah things can get dicey. I definitely rely on the Intel AMT--though I haven't gotten the serial console to work with grub === ptaszynka_ is now known as ptaszynka [06:56] but I can at least reboot which has saved me many times [06:58] but you're idea I like: ideally I'd keep two partitions and actually upgrade via VM running off the other partition [06:58] that's how TiVo works under the hood (sorta). when a system upgrade comes it installs it on the alternate partition and then switches [06:58] tricky part is you have to clone your "config" and data files [06:59] How to install pygame into ubuntu 14 with python 3.4 ? [06:59] !info python3 [06:59] python3 (source: python3-defaults): interactive high-level object-oriented language (default python3 version). In component main, is important. Version 3.4.0-0ubuntu2 (trusty), package size 8 kB, installed size 100 kB [06:59] but you could do it manually if you had a serial console via AMT into grub and two partitions + VM setup [07:01] jbj1: just clone all of the disk.. it'd be a direct mirror [07:03] yeah, should mostly "just work" except perhaps device ids.. [07:10] gartral: so I just have to change my hd partition format? o_o [07:11] gartral: and it's out of efi mode? === quem_ is now known as quem [07:12] AR45: that matches my *admittedly limited( experience with macs, yes [07:13] gartral: if this works, I'll be happy because my OS X partition is gone and the default disk recovery utility won't start [07:13] gartral: so now I have even more problems lol [07:14] AR45 what are you installing on? [07:15] I installed on a mac mini [07:15] I vaguely recalled I should have used a utility in macos to set up the loader before I blew away the OSX partition [07:17] got a simple question for you guys, what's the difference between fedora and debian? [07:17] AR45, consult wikipedia or ##linux [07:18] AR45: fedora is the open source RedHat? [07:18] AR45 and therefore not debian at all, totally different distro [07:18] jbj1 so what's a red hat? [07:21] RedHat is just another distro--most visibly they are the progenitors of the ".rpm" format [07:22] gartral: okay anyway to check if im not in efi mode? [07:23] AR45: that... I am uncertain of [07:24] oh I think you can check that... [07:24] you mean from linux?\ [07:25] the box I'm on right now boots via EFI [07:26] if you booted from EFI you should have /sys/firmware/efi [07:26] (in linux) [07:28] jbj1 fuck me.. [07:28] jbj1: it's there.. [07:28] AR45, language = keep it clean [07:29] cfhowlett: sorry.. frustrated [07:29] AR45, understood [07:31] hey I am getting a wierd packaging bug http://i.imgur.com/pNxB9pJ.jpg [07:31] hi all - anyone in try have any luck getting a synaptics trackpad on a dell laptop working on ubuntu 14.04 running under vmware player with a windows 8.1 host? [07:32] its not letting me upgrade this, and its causing other packages to fail to install [07:32] AR45, fedora is a derivative of RedHat's beta code, without the commercial additions, with community addons, if that makes sense [07:32] where centos is the stable branch, unless im mistaken [07:32] how do i find out which packages cause: pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. [07:33] Ubuntu has failed me for the first time ever! [07:34] AR45, pray we don't alter your computer further [07:37] How to get CD/DVD drive's cache size? [07:37] Woodrag, maybe /var/log/apt/term.log ? [07:37] AR45: oh also when you boot from EFI you usually have the EFI partition mounted [07:37] mounted somewhere [07:38] Is there a log of all ip address my server ever connected to somewhere? [07:38] sigh crashed again [07:38] SASDOE: /var/log is where all the logs are [07:39] if not there - then check your router - might have a log as well [07:39] akiva-thinkpad, try it in console? maybe its a subversion thing... [07:40] metaspike, sure' I'll give you the output [07:41] So it would be logged by application not by system? [07:41] SASDOE, hmmm. just like, generally or to a specific service? because apache server has logs, but I don't think the computer logs IPs generically, you can monitor connections with 'netstat -c' though [07:42] by default, I don't think ubuntu logs IP connections. [07:42] SASDOE: it depends what you mean by 'all ip addresses'. auth.log will contain SSH logins, apache2 logs webserver access, etc... [07:43] Ok it's what I feared. The app I am using doesn't log ips. [07:43] metaspike, no potato http://paste.ubuntu.com/8512848/ [07:44] So how would a gov find who planted a backdoor (for example) if there are no logs? [07:44] SASDOE: it is unlikely there is another log then [07:44] router logs [07:45] system logs [07:45] akiva-thinkpad, wat, that's bonkers. try 'rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lilypond-doc_2.18.0-1_all.deb' [07:45] app logs [07:45] and chips your tv set! [07:45] their monitoring my brainwaves [07:46] they're [07:46] I doubt backdoors log the ip of it's control server! But thanks I got my answer [07:46] SASDOE: is this still a query relating to your specific installation of ubuntu, or just some general question [07:47] My question's been answered, ubuntu by default does not log all ips it connects to. [07:48] metaspike, nope still the same issues === dodie|off is now known as dodie === dodie is now known as Guest26408 [07:52] has anyone configured OpenLiteSpeed? [07:52] a quick search reveals there's a bug in the package itself. maybe, dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq lilypond-doc & apt-get install lilypond-doc . will temporarily fix it. or cause fire [07:52] how to enable basic auth on it? [07:54] metaspike, thanks [07:57] metaspike, that appears to have worked; === circ-user-md6uE is now known as foxoman [07:57] !cookie | metaspike [07:57] metaspike: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [07:58] glad i could help ;) [08:00] I need to update my version of ubuntu and I was following this: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-upgrade-to-ubuntu-14-04-from-ubuntu-13-10-or-12-04/ which led me to this: http://gyazo.com/1de5c5f86de86adc0a4f5c43137a2d6b and I am uncertain if I should be continuing in this way [08:00] farva - not sure - i did an upgrade from 12 to 14 and after a few months it bombed out - i wound up redoing it with 14.04 fresh install [08:01] farva: what version are you on? [08:01] farva, what is the output from your terminal: cat /etc/issue [08:02] upgrading over ssh, that's brave [08:03] 12.0405 LTS \n \l [08:03] farva: you can continue that way, just make sure you can log in using the port it says [08:04] I can't have it bottoming out on me in a few months though [08:04] should I just go with a fresh install? [08:04] farva, direct upgrade to 14.04 if your software sources are set to "Long Term Support" version [08:04] farva: is it a server? [08:04] what is direct upgrade [08:04] Ben64: yes [08:04] (new to all this) [08:04] any PPAs or weird stuff? [08:04] farva, sudo apt-get do-release-upgrade [08:05] I have that cfhowlett [08:05] cfhowlett: apt-get? [08:05] farva, doh! sudo do-release-upgrade [08:05] !cookie | Ben64, [08:05] Ben64,: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [08:05] its a fresh machine, it was supposed to come with 14.04 and they gave me 12 [08:05] :D [08:05] farva: well then i'd ask them to put 14.04 on it [08:06] hello guys [08:06] the upgrade should be fine, but if you haven't done anything yet you might as well have them put 14.04 on fresh === Beto is now known as Alam === Dmitry is now known as Guest68589 [08:22] what [08:22] I downloaded 14.04 from torrents. The md4sum is correct. But when I installed, it turned out to be 13.04 raring. Why? [08:22] slava Stalinu [08:23] Probably because you downloaded 13.04. [08:23] no. I dont have that downloaded at all. [08:24] let me recheck tho. [08:25] What do I select here? Since I already have my root user set up.... : http://gyazo.com/146710bd4b0c59cfc1316408d6e36062 [08:25] I mean, I could assume I keep it the way I have it, but I don't want to mess up [08:26] superkuh: you are correct. obvious answer is true. [08:26] You could just add the 'Defaults mail_badpass' manually farva. [08:26] I have no idea what that is [08:27] Me either! [08:27] But if it's in the new version it probably won't hurt. === Caroga_afk is now known as Caroga [08:29] I need to remove a search entry in resolv.conf for good - how does one do this? [08:30] Open /etc/resolv.conf with root privs in your text editor of choice? [08:32] gksu gedit /etc/resolv.conf , etc. Find the 'search ________' line, remove it, save. [08:32] Also check in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/ for other instances of the search line. [08:32] May I know, about the support in linux for the listed features? http://paste.linuxassist.net/view/4752c2e9 [08:33] hello [08:33] I am planning to build a demo system [08:33] Probably not, kanupatar, that list is generic. [08:33] CAN support? A car computer? [08:34] superkuh: yes [08:34] You'd probably be able to work something but might need to bitbang or use some external peripheral. [08:34] guys i've a problem with installing xubuntu 14.04. i have windows 8.1 installed with legacy boot mode, but xubuntu doesnt detect my partitions in installer [08:34] superkuh: means can driver [08:34] Well, okay, sure.

[08:39] filsuck: Easily answered, no [08:39] for sure the mofo NSA has a special backdoor in WinSuck === wolf is now known as Guest37563 [08:39] They probably have a whole load of secret 0'days for it. [08:40] But they probably do for everything. [08:40] Hi there, I am attempting to set up a mail server using postfix and courier and I can receive mail via IMAP fine, but attempting to send mail gives me a "relay access denied". What does this error exactly mean and what are some of its common causes? [08:40] how can I know there is no backdoor in ubuntu DESIGNED FOR NSA [08:40] ubuntu is also just an american hoe ... no? [08:40] filsuck: you can see the source code and check for yourself [08:41] glcheetham, check your /var/logs/mail.log [08:41] hi everyone, i'm new to linux os, any idea how to install flash player having in mind that adobe website is restricted in my country. [08:41] It'll be something relating to smtpd_recipient_restrictions in your postfix config. [08:42] I'm trying to run an application remotely... using X. The window pops up locally, but I'm getting horrible response time from it; every click is an agonizing wait. The local client has normal reaction time for local applications, the remote server has 8 cores and virtually no load. Ping time between is good (~50ms). Any ideas on why it's so slow and/or preferably how to speed it up? [08:42] kmj, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [08:42] ShrewdSpirit set BIOS UEFI off and hard disk mode change to another mode [08:42] superkuh, cheers, what does the error itself, as in, what set of conditions need to happen before it triggers? [08:43] I come to conclusion anything American is totally UNTRUSTWORTHY [08:43] snpresent my laptop boots in legacy mode [08:43] yaho google facebook [08:43] all garbage [08:43] filsuck: You're welcome to that opinion, but its not a topic for discussion here, this channel only deals with Ubuntu support questions [08:43] glcheetham: Sorry, no time to get into mailserver setup. That's tedious stuff. Check out the workaround.org ispmail tutorials to get some context. [08:43] That's where I learned how. [08:44] glcheetham: it sounds like you're trying to use some other server (like your ISP perhaps?) as your mail relay. *shrug* [08:44] now ISIS is openly demanding their fans to behead twitter's employee! [08:44] now that is interesting [08:44] now that is interesting [08:44] ShrewdSpirit not boot mode , harddisk mode got that [08:44] filsuck: Please stop, its not a topic for discussion here [08:44] superkuh, thanks alot for the help anyway :-) [08:44] apb1963: and you too [08:44] harddisk opinion [08:44] snpresent sorry but how can I change that? [08:44] :o [08:45] you mean device boot order? [08:45] what is the command for window spread? [08:45] in terminal [08:45] ShrewdSpirit please google how to use BIOS [08:46] glcheetham: I believe there's a #postfix channel... you'll iikely find some knowledgeable people there... hopefully they've already eaten :) [08:46] ik how to use it. but i don't understand what's harddisk mode [08:47] glcheetham, there's also a #postfix on freenode. But consider it more of a forum than IRC. You'll have to wait a long time to get help. [08:47] ShrewdSpirit ok i will show you wait second [08:48] okay thanks [08:48] Thanks guys [08:48] Oh. You're there already. [08:48] Heh. Good luck. [08:48] is ther ea comamnd i can use in terminal to do window spread (i want to make a launcher that does window spread) [08:49] azizLIGHT, you could work something up with xmctrl. [08:49] er, wmctrl. [08:49] Also, xdotool. [08:50] pls more hint [08:51] In other news, I have started to lose a little faith in ubuntu and GNU/Linux as a desktop operating system. How can you help a brother who is losing faith? :( [08:51] why are you losing faith [08:51] glcheetham, just imagine trying to set up a mail server on windows. :| [08:51] what caused that [08:52] glcheetham, faith? this isn't a church lol [08:52] reboot machine into BIOS find SATA Controller Mode === Hobbyboy|Sleep is now known as Hobbyboy [08:53] snpresent what should I do then? [08:53] Most linux distros I've tried have little quirks that I need to sort out,and I'm kind of tired of vi'ing conf files [08:53] ShrewdSpirit try another mode [08:53] snpresent, okay lemme try [08:53] ShrewdSpirit like IDE mode or something else [08:54] Sometimes I feel like I just want something that just works, I feel like I've grown out of distro hopping and vi'ing [08:54] snpresent ok [08:54] But it's something I used to enjoy :-( [08:55] glcheetham: You may find this interesting: http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2012/Aug-29.html [08:59] damn this gparted >_< its taking more than 2 hours to move and resize a partition. minitool partition wizard could do it faster [09:01] Doubt it, gparted is just a wrapper for standard system utilities [09:01] glcheetham, tedium is a sign for change, maybe you just need some fresh air or something :) [09:01] ShrewdSpirit no need try this in livecd :sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1 count=8 seek=512 === xatr0z_ is now known as xatr0z [09:02] Setting up my mail server was one of the more tedious things I've ever done. Blaming gnu/linux as a whole for that isn't fair. [09:02] It'd be just as frustrating on any other platform short of using something like iRedmail. [09:02] hi [09:02] snpresent but this will remove all my partitions :o I need windows for some tasks. I have to dual boot windows and ubuntu === amir_ is now known as Guest3014 [09:03] superkuh: I haven't lost faith because of my setting up a mail server, I love linux on the server, I just am getting a little sick of things not working on my laptop :( [09:03] ShrewdSpirit it will not i think [09:04] superkuh: If I had to work with windows servers at work everyday I would probably have killed myself [09:04] Ah, alright. [09:04] snpresent seriously? there are some things that I can't do in windows and I need ubuntu for those [09:04] A little venting is necessary. I've personally been battling a persistent every ~15 minutes filemanager segfault for the last month. [09:05] glcheetham: pastebin your conf file. maybe something obvious will jump out at me or someone [09:05] what about AM/FM stack support in linux? [09:05] superkuh: I battled segfaults for 6 months until I dumped 12.04 and moved to 14.04... then I battled baloo until I finally found out how to turn it off. [09:06] Mine started with the upgrade to 14.04. :\ [09:06] try google : sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1 count=8 seek=512 [09:06] sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1 count=8 seek=512 [09:06] apb1963: postconf -n http://pastebin.com/E6pUtcjX [09:06] my bugbear is no sound after resume from hibernate. pleh [09:06] superkuh: IIRC, rumor has it you can't upgrade.. you have to install fresh. But I could be wrong. I installed fresh (using debootstrap), so I don't really know. [09:07] I'd believe that. [09:07] metaspike: ugh. I rebooted 2 hours ago due to sound problems. Don't get me started on audio issues. [09:07] glcheetham: looking [09:07] I had to do some fairly non-standard things just to get the install to complete. [09:07] Er, upgrade.

[09:11] apb1963: 14.04 [09:11] snpresent okay lemme try [09:11] glcheetham: how did you install postfix? [09:12] then you can install ubuntu use grub to boot windows [09:12] then you can install ubuntu use grub to boot windows [09:12] apb1963: In regards to the mail server, I am going to go and rethink, regroup and get my head straight. In regards to the losing of faith, I hope that linus and mark shuttleworth will forgive me :-) [09:13] apb1963: I used apt [09:13] glcheetham: did you select anything other than defaults? [09:13] Hi All, I'm having serious issues with ubuntu14.04 & chrome (stable & beta). Its crashing constantly. Is there any known issues? [09:13] snpresent okay removed the GPT signature. lets run the installer [09:13] remember check you hard disk 's name [09:14] snpresent, okay [09:14] apb1963: No, however I have modified the main.cf file considerably [09:14] ShrewdSpirit i hope it will work [09:15] glcheetham: Yeah, it kind of looks like it. Try adding this: "relayhost =" into your main.cf (no quotes). [09:15] apb1963: Thanks for the help [09:16] snpresent I hope too. livecd is very slow. the installer is stuck in "preparing to install ..." page [09:17] glcheetham: Also try adding "smtpd_relay_restrictions = permit_mynetworks permit_sasl_authenticated defer_unauth_destination" again... no quotes. [09:17] apb1963: yeah, that's something I have tried before however it has made no difference [09:17] ShrewdSpirit patient [09:18] apb1963: Thank you for the help however now I feel bad for help vampiring and I am going to go and fix this myself [09:18] glcheetham: if that's the case, then you need someone who knows what they're doing :) [09:18] glcheetham: meh. That's the purpose of the channel as far as I'm concerned. Give and take.

Another option is to remove the resolveconf package. All these things might break parts of network-manager. [09:31] thanks for your time on this guys!

[11:39] I've just installed xubuntu but when I turn on my laptop it grub doesnt show windows and it only boots xubuntu [11:39] BTW I have windows 8.1 and it was using GPT which I removed it to install linux :D [11:39] the ROOT LOGIN REFUSED is coming with a preauth addendum in the logs, not sure if that's relevant [11:40] DoctorWedgeworth: whats wrong with using sudo [11:40] DoctorWedgeworth, have a look in /var/log/sshd.log [11:40] and consider there's alot of things that try to prevent root logins, including apparmor / selinux [11:41] DoctorWedgeworth have you set password for root [11:41] Ubuntu doesn't use SELinux [11:41] preach, preach [11:41] !root [11:41] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password.

[11:42] ubuntu itself its pretty well 'anti-root' [11:42] I've set the root password so it's not that, it's a physical server [11:42] DoctorWedgeworth: can you su - [11:43] ciao [11:43] yeah su - works (just tested it).

I've already checked if it's on mute, which is not the case. What else can I check? I've never had this happen before, fairly new laptop too. [11:53] I have a laptop running Windows 8 pre-loaded. I'd attempted to install Ubuntu 12.04 on it earlier, but that wasn't working for some reason. I installed Trusty now, and rather foolishly opted to remove the earlier Ubuntu installation. The problem is... Trusty isn't starting either. But my concern is now related to the fact that grub doesn't even show the Windows IS on startup. Did I lose my Windows? AFAIK, I'd put Windows in hiberna [11:54] lubuntu has an alternate image. Where is the alternate image for straight Ubuntu? [11:54] __zug__, alsamixer? /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart? there's like a billion things you could try [11:54] DrManhattan: Alternate images no longer exists for Ubuntu [11:54] I have a question regarding 14.04 LTS with Nvidia and intel graphics card dual graphics on my laptip [11:54] I have a question regarding 14.04 LTS with Nvidia and intel graphics card dual graphics on my laptop [11:54] Guest2757, depends on exactly what options you chose and what your hardware is. possibly you removed windows. but you have your windows restore disk handy, right?

It gets disabled some time after reboot - I can still press-to-click, but not move the mouse nor tap-top-click. I have a Lenovo laptop so I can still use the trackpoint, but it's annoying! I've tried 'xinput set-prop "Device Enabled" 1' with no result. [13:09] hmm. maybe im just making that up [13:11] I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 [13:12] BluesKaj, still [13:13] susundberg, metaspike - sorry guys, got disconnected.. are you still around? As I said.. lsblk doesn't display an ntfs partition [13:13] did you try 'sudo lsblk -f' [13:14] metaspike, http://imgur.com/M8U1ttB [13:14] metaspike - no, simply lsblk [13:14] yash,make sure automute in alsamixer is disabled [13:14] metaspike - sudo lsblk -f shows me sda [13:14] Wollie88: What terminal emulator do you use? [13:14] (sda1 vfat /boot/efi [13:14] yash, does your soundcard show up in alsamixer when you hit f6?

They hog the whole bandwidth of the console such that I can't even switch consoles. [13:20] I do choose the soundcard but nothing changes [13:21] I press ^c, but I still have to wait a *long* time for the buffer to run out or something. [13:21] How can i get around this? [13:22] yash, i suggest trying this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto and looking into dmesg... and see what 'pulseaudio --start' does, incase its not loading [13:22] metaspike - sorry, disconnected again. Flaky connection. So, there was no ntfs partition displayed using either sudo lsblk -f or simply lsblk. Simply typing parted doesn't display any device either. === lyc4n is now known as LYC4Nbeat [13:24] /msg NickServ identify secretpassword [13:24] possiblyscrewed, lets assume you've formatted your drive with ubuntu.

[13:26] possiblyscrewed, ignore [13:29] join [13:35] metaspike - Been reading the CGSecurity page. Won't boot-repair help? Doesn't it do something similar? Otherwise, I guess that's it then. I'll have to check it in for professional support (don't know if they'll help with step by step recovery though). Thanks for the help! [13:35] possiblyscrewed, http://en.altlinux.org/Regular in your position i would boot from this and run test-disk, as further disk writes remove shadow blocks [13:37] hi === marcel is now known as Guest84329 [13:38] hi [13:39] metaspike - thanks. To make doubly sure => Boot off a liveUSB session of Alt-linux, connect to the web, download and install test-disk, and then run it? Which flavvour under "main" on that link should I use? [13:40] I want to know about how to prevent my linux to be attack from a wifi network via Mitm [13:41] any flavor, depends on your style. cd burn could be easier. it comes with testdisc, and photorec. two great recovery options. [13:41] anyone know Nvidia persistenced daemon constantly says failed on every bootup? [13:41] you will need a seperate drive to copy recovered data too [13:41] hdtune2k, https everything and use ssl whenever possible. also enable ufw [13:42] But seems like the arpspoof utilities can catch SSL information [13:43] Can I lock my router's MAC address? [13:43] i doubt you can hide it, but you can usually spoof it [13:43] ok [13:44] Thanks [13:46] when i log in to a ubuntu 12.4lts server i get a message saying "N packages can be updated. M updates are security updates."; is it possible to get an overview of which packages have specifically security updates? [13:46] !server | nido [13:46] nido: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Trusty (Trusty Tahr 14.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/ - Support in #ubuntu-server [13:48] metaspike - Well, I've got my work cut out then. Thanks for the help. [13:48] fare thee well [13:51] nido, apt-listchanges [13:52] metaspike: thank you [13:52] send food [13:53] pwmconfig can't find pwm capable sensors, i ran sensors-detect first and i'm sure the cpu fan is controllable [13:53] how can i fix it? [13:54] is lm-sensors installed? [13:54] yes, can you even run sensors-detect without it? [13:55] anyway, i think the issue is the module it87, it detected it but now i tried to manually load it and it says device or resource busy [13:55] modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'it87': Device or resource busy [13:58] from what i found a possible fix is, "acpi_enforce_resources=lax" but i don't want to try it as it seems like a bad idea [13:59] lax aye. [13:59] What file systems do you use for external hard drives? [13:59] I [13:59] I've noticed if I formatted my external hard drives to ext systems, I cannot write to them unless I am root. [14:01] clumsy_bot, that's probably because you've set the permissions wrong [14:01] Naphatul, How should I modify the permissions to allow anybody connecting it on a Linux system to write to it? [14:02] Naphatul, Should I be changing the group ownership to 'storage'? [14:06] metaspike, looks like my codec is a bug in ubuntu [14:06] clumsy_bot, i'm not sure what or even if a storage group is premade in ubuntu [14:07] but you want to add all users to the group and set the appropriate permissions [14:07] try sudo usermod -a -G plugdev [username] , isn't plugdev supposed to handle this sort of thing? [14:07] I have Realtalk ALC1200 and nothing worked for that so far [14:08] Naphatul, Some online threads I've found have suggested adding groups would only solve the problem for users already within those groups. [14:08] clumsy_bot, ^ [14:09] clumsy_bot, yes all users would need to be in the group [14:09] Naphatul, A notable one has suggested change UID values. === henkkus_ is now known as henkkus [14:09] if you want it to be accessible to everyone just make it world read/write able [14:09] metaspike, I formatted an external hard drive to ext3 in Arch, I can't write to it in Ubuntu 14.04. [14:10] yash, what's the output of 'lsmod | grep snd' pastebin [14:10] or just lsmod... [14:11] metaspike, I just reformatted it again in Ubuntu 14.04 via mkfs [14:11] so is there no way to fix it properly without acpi_enforce_resources=lax ? [14:11] metaspike, Here's the pastebin http://pastebin.com/gwUdJfhE [14:11] clumsy_bot, if you add your user to plugdev (or is that storage?) group, then after a login logout it might work [14:11] metaspike, http://pastebin.com/ADCMmm8L [14:12] metaspike, Typing groups term suggests that my user is in the plugdev group. [14:12] Permissions for the drive are under root. There is no other way to format a drive though. [14:14] yeah, but if your automounting https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB then it should be groovy? [14:17] can I install debian packages on ubuntu? [14:17] metaspike, This drive is connected via a SATA cable into my desktop, but for all intents and purposes, it acts like an external to my main setup. [14:17] I need gstreamer 1.4 https://packages.debian.org/sid/gstreamer1.0-tools [14:18] metaspike, I can plug in USB flash drives and have no problem because FAT32 doesn't support permissions. [14:18] please tell me how can i install 32bits shared libs on 64bit? [14:19] metaspike, This is about the only external drive I can test. If I switched to NTFS it wouldn't be a problem, but I exclusively run Linux on everything I have, so I thought a Linux file system would be better performance overall. [14:19] ia32b-libs not working [14:20] ia32-libs not working [14:20] iscorpion, Doesn't Ubuntu include the i386 architectures by default? [14:21] clumsy_bot i think not in 14.04 [14:21] iscorpion, Try dpkg --add-architecture [14:22] I remembered using that command while I was in Debian. [14:22] ok, lemme try [14:22] iscorpion, Once that's done, you can try apt-get update and searching for the package in apt-cache. [14:22] iscorpion, If that doesn't work, perhaps take a look at the man page for apt-get, it should cover specifying architectures for packages. [14:23] thanku will look can u give me the link plz my net is slow atm :) [14:24] iscorpion, Just type 'man apt-get' in your terminal. You should be able to get it there. :) [14:24] clumsy_bot, you want to mount automatically or manually? [14:24] i have i386 enabled on 14.04 and i don't remember explicitly enabling it [14:24] hahha manual ok [14:24] Incest is best, put your sister to the test [14:24] iscorpion, 'man' is used to call up the man page for the relevant function, so you can do 'man dpkg' to learn more. [14:24] ok ok [14:24] bencc: find a gstreamer ppa? [14:25] metaspike, It isn't auto-mounting, it's manually mounting currently. Although to be honest, I've been wanting to figure this thing out not just for Ubuntu, but for Arch and other relevant distros. [14:25] stianhj: the official ppa hasn't updated https://launchpad.net/~gstreamer-developers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa [14:27] clumsy_bot, add a line to /etc/fstab '/dev/sdX /mnt/sdX ext3 user,rw,noauto,umask=000 0 0' === regebro is now known as regebro|afk [14:27] noauto or auto, for manual or manual [14:27] noauto for manual, auto for auto [14:27] metaspike, Alright. This solves the problem for that particular system though right? [14:28] is there way to move task bar in ubuntu 14 [14:28] all systems. it's the same. [14:28] from side to bottom [14:28] metaspike, But I have to implement this on all systems that I will be using the drive with right? [14:30] yep, and use UUID=[whatever] instead of /dev/sdX if you have too [14:30] metaspike, I had hoped for a simple, elegant solution that would solve the problem via some form of permissions/ownership. Perhaps that's a bit of a pipe dream. [14:30] metaspike, But even ownership/permissions has its own problems. [14:31] this is as elegant as it can get, lowlevel [14:31] metaspike, Would it be easier if I just moved to a permission-agnostic file system such as NTFS? [14:31] metaspike, Perhaps this problem is inherent to multi-user operating systems, would that be a correct statement? === Guest65044 is now known as knoxy [14:32] metaspike, I'm planning to setup an easy backup facility for my /home partition via rsync so I'm investigating all relevant doubts/questions before buying a new drive. [14:32] Hand-me-down hard drives do not exactly instil any confidence. [14:33] hello, dont know much about ubuntu or computers for that matter...just upgraded to 14.04 and pretty much any time i use the internet the computer slows down dramatically, cpu usage spikes, and my hard drive starts doing some wierd stuf... [14:33] could anyone help? [14:35] elferhw, What network adapter? [14:35] elferhw: You're being monitored by the NSA [14:36] yeah...network adapter? how can i find this out for you? [14:37] haha i would like to apologize beforehand for my ineptitude [14:38] elferhw, lspci? [14:39] elferhw, Are you using wireless or ethernet? [14:39] clumsy_bot, ntfs still has permissions, it's just that they're ignored by linux, ntfs support in linux is not good [14:39] wireless [14:39] hi [14:40] metaspike, Ah, so in summary, the most elegant solution is to simply add the UUID into fstab? === quem_ is now known as quem [14:40] elferhw, 'lspci | grep Wireless' [14:40] yup [14:40] and those options [14:40] metaspike, First time I've encountered that. [14:41] 0b:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02) [14:41] user has read write access without auto mount with full permissions [14:41] metaspike, I added my entry. It looks something like 'UUID= none ext3 user,noauto,rw 0 0' [14:41] elferhw, Should be fine on its own then, Intel has open-source drivers. [14:42] elferhw, Perhaps try taking a look at 'Additional Drivers' [14:42] noauto/auto, you prob want auto [14:42] metaspike, Auto is auto-mounting yes? [14:42] yup [14:43] hotplug, maybe just remove it altogether [14:43] metaspike, hotplug? Allows it to mount whenever needed? [14:44] !hot [14:44] auto means (it's just been plugged in! mount it!) [14:44] :) [14:44] opps [14:45] metaspike, Yea I get that one. You said something about 'hotplug', so I thought that was another option or something. :p [14:45] clumsy_bot, thanks for the help, how would i go about taking a look at additional drivers? If at any point you decide this is too much work for someone with too little knowledge about this just let me know [14:45] elferhw, Honestly, it could be a myriad of other factors causing the lag spikes. [14:46] elferhw, Drivers are one of the possible contributing factors. Other factors could include: lack of RAM, wireless power saving etc. [14:47] clumsy_bot, yeah, dont worry, thank you, wish i had some more specifics, i will dig further and see if i find anything, thanks again [14:47] He left in a hurry. [14:47] Was going to ask him to check out the ArchWiki... [14:51] How to eject CD stuck in drive on ubuntu? [14:52] AR45_, paperclip in the cd driver hole [14:52] AR45_: the good ol' paperclip [14:52] stianhj: I have a mac. [14:52] AR45_: macs don't have the cd-rom hole? [14:52] sudo eject /dev/cdrom [14:52] stianhj: Nope [14:53] stianhj: I typed eject -v and got it [14:54] eject -v works [14:58] Apple have removed CD drives from their recent computers I think [14:59] must say ... loving my ubuntu experience :D [15:00] I would like to thank Everyone making this possible!

[15:20] Sorry [15:20] g_rmz: You have a couple of options, if its locking like that I suggest disabling wifi in your bios during the install, then enabling it afterwards and install the b43 firmware [15:21] Ok, how i disable it?I've never do that..! [15:21] it did work and whatnot [15:21] but it had a really slow framerate [15:22] i suspect because its using the intel video card [15:22] and not the radeon [15:22] (im talking about a laptop here, its a lenovo g500) [15:22] DeathTech, any pointers? [15:22] g_rmz : its different for each manufacturer, but the generic version is you go into your BIOS (Usually F12 at the boot logo) and find the WiFi option in there somewhere, and disable it. [15:23] DeathTech: Ok!I'll try :) Thank you [15:23] g_rmz : NP ! :) [15:24] qlr : I dont own any AMD hardware, so i cant say for certain, but it sounds like you have graphics switching.

I am trying to install Ubuntu 14.04 onto an Asus computer which originally had "Windows 8" on it using UEFI for security. I have downloaded the 14.04 ISO, burned it onto a DVD and put it into the DVD drive. The problem I am having is the Asus computer won't boot the LiveDVD and allow me to "Try Ubuntu". Instead the BIOS loads. On the "Boot" BIOS option "Fast Boot" and... [16:14] ..."Launch CSM" are both disabled.

[17:17] cyberdine1988: i am not sure if this strange UEFI stuff still used MBR but a normal pc is still using an MBR. for windows, linux and unix [17:18] yea, thats what was strange to me, it made no sense [17:18] IO just found it on a fprum panicking to get the data back [17:18] well damn, the minimal is only 37mb? [17:18] now i feel like i'm wasting a cd ^^ [17:18] Ajkthx: you are always wasting a cd [17:19] what? [17:19] Ajkthx: because the newest packages are in the online repo and not on the cd/dvd [17:19] i dont even have ubuntu yet [17:19] Ajkthx: so normally a lot of stuff from the cd is outdated and will be replaced during installation directly from the online repos [17:20] ok [17:20] still need to install ubuntu somehow [17:20] Use the network install CD (not sure what it is named) [17:20] got everything back off the truecrypt voume that died... wouldn't boot, mount, format nothing.... threw ubuntu in VMworkstation, gave it the physical drive, loaded truecrypt for linux and got me right in [17:20] Ajkthx: the installer will install the package "foobar" and on the cd there is version 1.00 and online there is the fixed version 1.01 so the installer will directly pick up 1.01 from the online repo and not using 1.00 from cd and then upgrading to 1.01 [17:20] Although the minimal CD is probably fine if you are installing for the first time. [17:20] or alternatively i could just use a cd [17:20] Ajkthx: just use the cd [17:20] k [17:20] :D [17:21] So their either a clear advantage or disadvantage when comparing the MBRs? I just don't know hwt that uis yet [17:21] Gotta start somewhere :) === Stu|[A] is now known as Stu| [17:22] cyberdine1988: why do you want to compare the MBR? [17:23] Well, I'm still unclear as to why thet even worked? [17:24] for all intenets and purposes that drive was unrecoverable thru any microsoft services at all [17:24] cyberdine1988: without an MBR the BIOS would fail [17:24] it did lol [17:24] my board just threw errors [17:24] cyberdine1988: the bios is reading the machine code from the MBR and that code will be executed, that code is reading the partitions and so on [17:24] 3 of them [17:24] cyberdine1988: and the MBR is on the Harddisk, not on the board [17:24] no lol the bios was just giving errors lol [17:24] cyberdine1988: but i dont know how this strange UEFI stuff is working [17:25] cyberdine1988: the error would be "no boot device found" [17:25] cyberdine1988: or "signature missing" or something like that [17:25] errr... lol no it was "MBR error 2" "MBR error 2" MBR error 3" [17:25] and that was all it would do [17:25] cyberdine1988: so there is an MBR and within that MBR is an error [17:26] cyberdine1988: so repair the MBR, there are windows and linux tools for it [17:26] cyberdine1988: is there only windows installed? [17:26] Nothing happens when I try to use screen sharing in Google Hangouts. What am I doing wrong? [17:26] Does it work on Ubuntu? [17:26] no, I'm uising VWworkstation... I have several versions of windows and just one of linux [17:26] there is a windows 8.1 on that drive [17:26] but its a 780 truecrypt volume [17:27] cyberdine1988: which machine is giving the MBR error? the real host? or a vm? [17:27] *780bit encryption [17:27] cyberdine1988: encrypted is the partition, not the device itself [17:27] my 4tb drive, thats now a slave to ubuntu so I can recover the data [17:27] cyberdine1988: and the MBR is the first sector of the device, not the partition, so encryption has nothing to do with it [17:28] truecrypt or bitlocker cyberdine1988 ? [17:28] welll, truecrypt also encrytpted that first sector (the hidden area) aND ONLY UNLOCKS WHEN KEYED WITH THE PASSWORD... OR SO i THOUGHT?

[17:28] lol triple cascade [17:28] or am i confused [17:29] cyberdine1988: or what should start the "enter the password"?

I made the drive just throwe a prompt "DISK_FAILURE!" and killed the ESC to go around preboot authorization [17:30] so the drive always appeared to have failed untl I entered the password [17:31] that was until; the real MBR disappeared [17:31] hey [17:31] cyberdine1988: if i got it correct the drive where the mbr failed messages is coming from is hosting windows [17:32] cyberdine1988: start the windows cd, enter the rescue shell, enter /fixmbr and thats it [17:32] why are the packages i install via apt-get not the newest? [17:32] can't [17:32] yerst: define "newest" [17:32] for example, the latest release of virtualbox is 4.3, with apt-get i get 4.1 [17:32] a windows mbr would only think the drive was empty [17:32] why don't they update the repository? [17:32] yerst: you will normally never get the newest version from apt-get, only the current one used in the distribution with sec-updates [17:33] neither windows or the original mbr loads until the correct password is entered [17:33] yerst: because most people dont want a rolling release, they want stable software instead of always the newest untested software [17:33] ut something got REALLY fucked up and only threw errors lol [17:33] ok [17:33] thx [17:33] cyberdine1988: but i dont get how that is ubuntu related [17:33] neither do iI!

[17:42] iceroot: only for security updates [17:42] leeyaa: this is a very stupid idea [17:42] says program grub not intallled, instal by blah blah blah lol [17:42] iceroot: how do you manage multiple servers then [17:42] apply security updates on each server manually? lol [17:42] leeyaa: the bad thing is not only that security updates may go wrong but sometimes there are also major-updates to fix a security issue (firefox, thunderbird, libreoffice, all closed source software) [17:43] leeyaa: with a test environment of course [17:43] derp lol *reads* lol [17:43] iceroot: im talking about severs, no firefox or any gui [17:43] most have just apache, xen, nginx etc [17:43] leeyaa: EVERY server admin MUST test the update before installing it [17:43] leeyaa: use a similar system, test the update and then roll out the upgrade on all machines [17:43] iceroot: there is an env where we test them, then apply them on production week or two later [17:44] leeyaa: the last step can be done automaticly [17:44] but still i would liek to automate it [17:44] leeyaa: that sounds complety different to "is it a good idea to update productions systems automaticly" [17:44] iceroot: yes, im bad at explaining myself [17:45] leeyaa: but i would not say "just" xen, if xen is failing, you will have a big problem [17:45] but anyway, how the hell to customise the email from [17:45] so, iceroot, is it because linux uses grub that made the differance then? [17:45] cyberdine1988: there is no difference [17:45] cyberdine1988: the MBR is used ALWAYS [17:45] ahh ok hmmm [17:46] iceroot: i didnt explain the whole situation. we do use xen on many servers and the office network can afford downtimes if something goes wrong. thats what i do at the moment, but manually [17:46] cyberdine1988: if it is grub, windows boot loader, apple jail starter, does not matter [17:46] apply updates, wait a week, apply on production [17:46] $service mdm status [17:46] status: Unknown job: mdm [17:46] but it is a pain to apply exactly the same updates [17:46] but the damned mdm file is just there in /etc/init.d [17:47] aliva: init.d is different than upstgart [17:47] upstart* [17:47] leeyaa: ssh foo@bar sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [17:47] leeyaa: as a very quick workaround [17:47] iceroot: i want only security updagtes [17:47] updates* [17:47] I still just don't understand lollol I spent weeks trying to get in, so much so I actually installed and learned linux to get to the data..... [17:48] leeyaa: but that in a script, make "bar" a bash variable and execute it "update system1" [17:48] i usually use unattended-upgrades [17:48] leeyaa: hm [17:48] not that their was a lot to learn to do it, its just beyond me why it worked [17:48] leeyaa: so you are a server admin and you think sudo apt-get dist-upgrade is not only installating sec updates? [17:48] like i have a script and i do ./rcfg.sh ALL_FL remote_command "apt-get install unattended-upgrades -y && apt-get update etc" [17:48] leeyaa: dist-upgrade is the only valid apt command to get security updates [17:49] Hello guys, I will join your conversation now. If I understand your right, I have had this Problem before [17:49] that depends on the xact thing u want to do [17:49] qq [17:49] leeyaa: dist-upgrade does not mean "install never versions with feature updates" or "update the distreibution" [17:49] leeyaa: it only means install the latest packages from the repository [17:49] iceroot: i was not ubuntu guy [17:49] leeyaa: the same on debian [17:50] !dist-upgrade [17:50] A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [17:50] nor debian ;p [17:50] Pici: great, finally there is the dist-upgrade factoid :) [17:50] i see your point though https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Upgrades [17:51] and back to my question, how to customise email notification [17:51] leeyaa: so, the only valid command for your security updates is "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" that is all [17:51] leeyaa: email notificaqtion of what? apticron? [17:51] iceroot: ima actually test that now [17:51] iceroot: no, unattended-upgrades [17:52] leeyaa: sorry dont know that [17:52] this /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades [17:53] leeyaa: but have one thing in mind (which is special for ubuntu, not debian).when it comes to kernels for example ubuntu is not only delivering secureity updates but also bug-fixes and sometimes new features or changing features within the same kernel-release. so it is important to do testing. debian is doing it different and really only delivering sec-updates [17:53] iceroot: i was told that we are fine to apply security updates. [17:54] hello. I upgraded my laptop recently to 14.04 lts and I now have to reboot this thing every 2-3 days because Xorg would just eat up memory [17:54] leeyaa: it was just an info that ubuntu is doing it a little bit "strange" here [17:54] like 2gb ram in 3 days [17:54] iceroot: ubuntu is doing lots of things different and strange [17:54] thanks for the info though [17:54] leeyaa: right [17:54] leeyaa: so you only want to change the sender from the mail? [17:55] iceroot: yes [17:55] leeyaa: //Unattended-Upgrade::Mail "root"; [17:55] leeyaa: replace root [17:55] leeyaa: and remove the // of course i would say, but never used it [17:55] thats the TO address [17:56] it sends them to this email [17:56] jglauche, reformat and install windows 95 [17:56] Ajkthx: so I only need to reboot at every 32bit timestamp overflow ? [17:56] leeyaa: ah, there was a mail-file which is a system global thing [17:57] so === quem_ is now known as quem [17:58] leeyaa: which MTA? postfix? [17:58] https://bpaste.net/show/4546f22b96a6 yet dist-upgrade reports https://bpaste.net/show/24e99a5af7e7 how can this be only security updates ? [17:58] yes postfix [17:58] if it is a postfix config i think i remember where to change it [17:59] leeyaa: sorry only in german http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Postfix#Korrekten-Absender-setzen [17:59] thats fine thanks [18:00] leeyaa: /etc/postfix/main.cf there you have to put sender_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sender_canonical and then create the file /etc/postfix/sender_canonical and put in root foo@bar.de [18:00] iceroot: i got it, thanks [18:00] leeyaa: then that address will be used from postfix [18:00] leeyaa: ok great [18:00] see my above message ;p [18:01] so far i have always used unattended-upgrades which does indeed apply only security updates [18:02] so i somehow got my hard drive to format within a mounted-in-windows version of ubuntu and totally destroyed everything [18:03] also, didnt even install ubuntu [18:03] fml [18:04] so... wait.. you formatted a live HDD within an ubuntu VM while it was mounted ? [18:04] Hi [18:04] right [18:04] Hi! Tried to play Kingpin: Life of Crime and there is no sound. Already tried "padsp kingpin" and there is another solution which is typing this echo 'kingpin 0 0 direct' > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss I don't have "oss" file. Can i just create it? [18:04] sorry man, thats weird [18:05] guess i just need to reinstall everything ;_; [18:06] i guess that's 1 way to completely shatter windows 8 [18:06] yeah man, that shouldnt have been possible, not even sure how you did that [18:06] i was messing with partitions just to see what it would let me do [18:06] i guess i found out [18:06] lol [18:08] I have a touchpad problem on Ubuntu 14.04. Sometime after reboot, mouse movement stops working, but clicking still works. I've tried reactivating it with xinput, but that doesn't work. The trackpoint (it's a Lenovo laptop) still works. === EriC^ is now known as EriC^^ [18:16] how do i add a repository: sudo add-apt blabla ? [18:17] felon: http://askubuntu.com/questions/217179/how-to-add-ppa-repositories [18:17] felon: either edit /etc/sources.list manually or use apt-add-repository [18:17] felon: sudo apt-add-repository yourrepository_url [18:18] felon: ah, my link is only for ppa [18:22] hi all.

[20:09] I am trying to add IP addresses to my machine using this tut: http://www.alkia.net/index.php/faqs/144-setting-up-second-ip-address-or-virtual-ip-address-in-ubuntu but I don't know if I should be changing my file when it does not look the same as what is in the tutorial: http://gyazo.com/bf4e52894098f3b2ffab5a94ef55aaa9 [20:09] does ubuntu 14.04 LTS come wiht a default mail application? [20:09] hsnopi, yes, Xubuntu comes with Thunderbird [20:10] obrienDave, My apologies, I meant server [20:10] adrian1908, current ffmpeg is a metapackage to libav https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FFmpeg [20:10] basically so server applications can email me errors === AlphaBeta is now known as PsiOmega [20:11] Hi [20:11] Do apt-get source / download check signatures for downloads? Can you cite documentation? [20:11] Im running Ubuntu Server with VLC as a media player [20:11] OerHeks: Thanks for the link. Would that imply that ffmpeg is equal to- or a superset of libav? [20:11] the version of VLC is outdated [20:11] !list [20:11] silvano: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [20:12] can I remove it and compile the latest version from source [20:12] adrian1908, i think equal [20:14] hsnopi, sorry, i know nothing about server but it seems to me it should be able to do that. i don't really know [20:14] OerHeks: thanks. I think i'll just go with the ffmpeg package, the description sounds very promising. I just wanted to make sure I didn't install something that's antagonistic to the common Ubuntu environment. [20:15] should I edit my /etc/network/interfaces from: auto p4p1 to eth0, and iface p4p1 inet static to: iface eth0 inet static ? [20:15] when adding extra ips* [20:15] farva: The name of the interface doesnt matter - as long as it is unique [20:16] does anyone know how to install ubuntu server on an IBM xseries 225? [20:16] or if it can be done' [20:16] Hey guys so I'm back. Just in case anyone was wondering. I looked through like the first 10 pages of a google search for several variations of the error I'm getting. No one has an answer. But, I think it's a confirmed bug (at least on 13.04 it was). [20:16] bekks: so when I add in more ips to use, I was looking at this tut: http://www.alkia.net/index.php/faqs/144-setting-up-second-ip-address-or-virtual-ip-address-in-ubuntu to be clear, this is safe for me to do? [20:18] farva: You should use the network adapter name you are using currently, and adapt that howto accordingly. [20:19] bekks: I am running a remote server and I did this once before, we used the eth0 previously, I am just nervous I might mess up...should I use eth0:0 eth0:1 etc? [20:20] farva: You network adapter name is p4p1 not eth0. [20:20] bekks: ohh I see, okay, so then I use p4p1:0 p4p1:1 etc? [20:23] Is there some tool that will check signatures for a .deb? [20:25] Eduard_Munteanu, softwarecenter, synaptic, apt-get [20:25] or do you want to check manually downloaden deb? [20:26] !md5sum [20:26] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [20:26] OerHeks, check manually downloaded debs or download and check signatures, but apt-get's docs are silent on this. === ubuntu is now known as Guest61145 [20:30] Does the installer save the install logs anywhere in the installed image? [20:30] I find it quite disturbing this stuff isn't documented. [20:31] found it! [20:36] does anyone know how to install ubuntu server on an IBM xseries 225? [20:36] ... [20:37] Anybody there. .? [20:37] Thuruv, yes [20:37] Yes [20:37] Hie can i ask here for a help in installing ubuntu . .? [20:39] Finetundra: Thuruv ask specific questions and people will try to help [20:39] Yes [20:40] Sure. . I've tried to load ubuntu in my Laptop using Wubi coming with 14.04 pack. . but it installed 12.04. Can you please guoide me. .? [20:40] Thuruv: scratch that wubi. make a real install into real partitions [20:40] ok, i'm trying to install ubuntu or some variation of it on an IBM xseries 225 but the server is not recognizing the cd [20:40] Thuruv, WUBI needs to die a slow painful death [20:41] can someone help me with that [20:42] Finetundra, sounds like a bad CD burn. try again [20:42] Finetundra: did you md5sum the iso? === mguy is now known as Guest75303 [20:42] Ha ha . . but mine has no DVD block. . [20:42] Thuruv: use a usb-pendrive to install ubuntu === root is now known as Guest91231 [20:43] k1l no i have not. ObrienDave I'll try it with a new ISO file [20:43] !rootirc > Guest91231 [20:43] Guest91231, please see my private message [20:43] Finetundra, I too have spent many hours fighting with 225s and their kin. Seems the CD-ROM drives in a great many of them just don't work anymore. [20:43] @k11 :Thanks. . But can i installl it in any drive. .? [20:44] I ended up cracking the case and slaving in an external CD drive long enough to get the initial install in and working. [20:44] Finetundra, MD5 the ISO first. if good, no need to D/L it again [20:44] Thuruv: yes. it doesnt matter if the installer is booted from usb or cd [20:45] hi how can i provide swap space to my ubuntu, without formatting the root partations [20:45] juniour: you do have swap partition and want additional swap space? [20:45] you'd have to resize the partition [20:45] Thanks a lot all. .:) [20:46] to create swap space [20:46] Pa^2, i know the drive works because i could boot knoppix. ObrienDave, i have do DL again because I just had to put in a new HDD [20:46] reset [20:47] k [20:47] Okay, this isn't completely support... But does anyone here play Z-machine games? [20:47] juniour: You can also just use a swap file instead of a partition. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#How_do_I_add_more_swap.3F just below that section explains how. [20:47] Finetundra, lucky yours works... most of the seven that I have didn't. Good luck with your adventure. [20:47] k1l_ i want addtional space, and i want to provide some space from my existing space [20:48] genni like?? [20:48] Pa^2 have you managed to make the machines work in the past? [20:49] juniour: i am not sure where your issue is right now?. do you have no unallocated space left to make a swap partition or to resize the swap partition? why do you mention formatting all partitions? [20:49] can you guys see my posts/ [20:49] oris, yes we can [20:49] thanks === Guest44420 is now known as Locke2002 [20:49] At the time I was loading up an old version of Slackware ... 12.02 or so, maybe even earlier. [20:50] Pa^2, have you ever managed to put an ubuntu distro on one? [20:50] what is the best "lite" edition of ubuntu... im looking for one to run on an old eee pc 900mhz [20:51] hi [20:51] yo [20:51] k1l_ no space is allocated before, if it was allocated, i mounted the space and used swapon command to use it. but the senarion is i have 40gb my filesystem and i want to give 4gm from this is it possible i can give without formating my system?? [20:51] oris, either xubuntu or lubuntu [20:52] Oris the server/minimal [20:52] would crunchbang be better ? [20:52] how can i delete all files from computer , but keep ubuntu, without make new install ? [20:52] capsuLe delete /home? [20:52] yo oris [20:52] hmmm [20:52] nice reflexion toby [20:53] juniour: you can shrink your filesystem from the live cd/usb and then make that a swap partition or move that space to the old swap partition [20:53] Huh? [20:53] lol [20:53] but about apt-get install all.packet* [20:53] k1l_ is it will effect my files??? [20:53] It sounds like you want to reinstall ubuntu capsuLe [20:53] has anyone here managed to install an ubuntu distro on an xseries 225? [20:53] :D [20:53] and if so what distro [20:53] Finetundra: Did you try another cd? [20:53] okey okey [20:54] juniour: depends on if you actually make a mess. but i suggest you make backups first in case murphys law strikes back [20:54] what do tou mean bekks? [20:54] Finetundra, sounds like a bad CD burn. try again [20:54] Finetundra: You were told to check the md5sum of the cd and to burn another cd - did you do that already? [20:55] ObrienDave, I've tried it with a good CD yet it still didn't recognize it [20:55] Finetundra use bootable pendrive :) [20:55] Finetundra: first make sure the iso is not corrupted and the cd/dvd reader works. if it still fails we can go to the next step [20:55] bekks, yes [20:55] ....and maybe try burning at a low speed rather than max. [20:55] one more , on my usbkey , i can boot with "gnome" but it's same to ubuntu ? or other linux version ? [20:55] Finetundra, Nope, just fire up the last known working one and it was Slack. Sorry [20:56] k1l, the cd drive works, I just loaded it up on a knoppix disc [20:57] Pa^2, thanks for checking [20:57] capsuLe that probably just refers to the DE [20:57] I'd like feh and xcompmng to start when my wm starts. Should I call these commands from .xinitrc? [20:57] some PAE or 32/64bit stuff? [20:57] Finetundra: So then please describe what "it doesn load Ubuntu" means exactly - what happens on screen? [20:57] DE ? [20:57] Finetundra: ^ [20:57] Gnome2 should be the same on any distro, and similar to mate as well [20:57] does any one know of any good music production progs for linux? [20:57] Desktop Enviroment [20:58] oris: there are a lot. even !ubuntu-studio [20:58] okey :) , with apt-get install ? sudo / cat / cd / etc ... ??? [20:58] oris: check out ubuntu studio see the ubuntu studio web pages for included software listings [20:58] thanks! i hadn't heard of ubuntu studio before [20:58] same commande ? just difference from packet always installed ? [20:59] I'd like feh and xcompmng to start when my wm starts. Should I call these commands from .xinitrc? [20:59] same for command into terminalx ? [20:59] capsuLe: what is your actuall issue? [20:59] oris: http://ubuntustudio.org/ [21:00] thanks squinty [21:00] bekks, it says "disk boot failure, insert system disc and press enter" [21:00] yw [21:00] Finetundra: Sounds like the cd is broken, if it boots another cd fine. [21:00] so what do i need to do [21:01] try the USB stick method [21:02] ObrienDave, I don't know how to boot the thing from USB [21:02] check your bios or uefi [21:02] i give back computer to my father , but between i delete windows and put ubuntu ( wonderfull) , and he told me : " no problem , i want go to linux since longtime . But i have put lot of application for discover linux environement and mind :) [21:03] Finetundra: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [21:04] now i need to give cleen linux , with nice desktop , easy to be dicover [21:04] Finetundra: or check out other options software and tutorials at pendrivelinux.com === tomas_ is now known as Guest88775 [21:04] oris, the options for boot are "floppy,LS120,Hard Disk, CDROM,ZIP100,Legacy LAN, LSI MPI Boot Su, MBA v3.1.15 Slo" [21:05] that computer is O L D [21:05] :D [21:05] capsuLe: try a standard ubuntu with unity desktop. [21:05] Finetundra: And whats the current order? [21:05] Hi, what is the equivalent of *initctl show-config* option in ubuntu 10? [21:05] LS120? ZIP100? oh my almost as old as me ;P [21:06] ObrienDave: It's a x225 ;) [21:06] i looking in gnu option if i can reinstall from himself [21:06] :p [21:06] i miss zipdrives [21:06] good old days [21:07] a zip drive with a tarabyte of data would be cool [21:07] "click of death" LOL [21:07] not even zip250, it's that old [21:07] bekks, f;oppy,HDD,CDROM,[disabled] [21:07] Finetundra: Set CDROM to be the first option. [21:07] and yes i know its old guys [21:08] no wonder it won't boot CD [21:08] at least put CD before HDD [21:08] ok bekks, now what [21:08] as someone mentioned before, burn the image again but at a very low speed. slow burn = better copies [21:08] Finetundra: i think all ubuntu isos need PAE, make sure your machine works with that. but if you still didnt check the md5sum we can stop talking now [21:08] i had one, and used until a day it went dead (click of death) [21:08] Finetundra: Insert the CD and boot it. [21:09] Hey everyone! [21:09] or just give up and set fire to the old pc. it's the kindest thing to do.... [21:09] haha [21:09] bekks,same thing [21:09] hey ecas [21:09] Finetundra: So check the md5sum. [21:10] I've got a question and was hoping someone could direct me towards a tutorial or something. [21:10] go for it [21:10] we're here to help [21:10] My girlfriend's computer has Windows 8 and Linux Mint installed. She isn't very technical (a friend installed Mint on it) and doesn't like it. She asked if I could install Ubuntu over the Mint side. [21:11] Are all GTK themes compatible with Ubuntu Unity? [21:11] Finetundra: might also want to look at the following http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_Linux_distribution [21:11] ECas123, yes you can [21:11] I should say GTK3 themes [21:11] It's a newer laptop so I'm guessing the process will be different. [21:11] ECas123: yes you can. just choose the old mint partitions in the manual partition in the installer [21:11] yeah, that's easy. just boot an ubuntu cd, then chose the partition mint was installed on [21:12] beat me to it! :) [21:12] So that's it? Nothing else I need to do? Don't distros usually install 2 partitions? [21:13] *create two partitions [21:13] ok bekks, what now [21:13] Finetundra: Did you chec the md5sum? [21:13] just deleted those 2, and setup 2 new ones [21:13] yes [21:13] Finetundra: So which value did you get? [21:13] ca2531b8cd79ea5b778ede3a524779b9 [21:13] Alright, thanks for the help! [21:13] no worries [21:13] Finetundra: Did you check the md5sum of the iso file, too? [21:14] that's what i checked [21:14] Finetundra: compare it to the md5sum of the cd. [21:14] is lubuntu any good [21:14] for such an old pc, i would personally look at installing crunchbang, or something equally lightweight [21:15] Ajkthx: yes it is. [21:15] what features does it exclue from ubuntu? [21:15] oris, i'm going to be using it as a server [21:16] oh right. that would be a tad tricky. although you can install apache etc to crunchbang [21:16] Ajkthx: its a different desktop on the same ubuntu base. its the more lightweight spinoff [21:16] Finetundra does it need a gui? [21:16] not really [21:17] Ajkthx: checking out the various flavoured desktops on Youtube for an example may give you an idea. or better yet just try it [21:17] what are the plans for the server? web site? or media centre === Nirra is now known as Guest19989 [21:17] ubuntu just seems too "solid", and it's already fairly lightweight. it's kind-of a "what's the point?" type of mentality [21:18] solid, and kinda weighty !! :D [21:19] oris, remote desktop [21:20] bekks, i've gotten lost [21:20] Finetundra: Then you can refer to this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM#MD5SUM_on_Linux [21:22] so why no gui for a remote desktop? [21:23] think i could get games to run on nanolinux? [21:23] that doesnt make sense to me [21:23] Ajkthx: other distros are off topic here [21:23] so you can't answer them? police going to come?

[21:26] great [21:26] Ajkthx: please keep this channel clear for real ubuntu support. there are tons of channels where you can seek support for other distros. thanks [21:27] Finetundra: or use usb stick along with a plop boot cd see http://www.plop.at/en/home.html for details on plop [21:28] of all the channels, you had to login to this one....

[21:48] maybe 10 [21:49] Finetundra: what do you try to solve with installing a old ubuntu release? [21:49] perhaps the issue is that it won't read the newer release with its older drive [21:50] Finetundra, does not work that way [21:50] well it was worth a thought. any suggestions ? [21:50] What spec is the computer, Finetundra? [21:50] Is it stuped to run a computer with all ports available trough the wide network without firewall? [21:51] hold [21:51] Finetundra: no, that is not helping. first make sure you got a right iso burned there, check md5sum. === BUSY2 is now known as BUSY [21:51] yes vaskol [21:51] vaskozl, yes, pretty much [21:51] Finetundra: if that is fine make sure your server supports PAE which ubuntu kernels need. [21:51] why? [21:51] like a house with every door unlocked and window open [21:52] vaskozl: you got a wrong idea of ports [21:52] vaskozl, like big sign out front, STEAL FROM ME [21:52] k1l_: I do?

[21:52] I'm having trouble with ttf-mscorefonts-installer http://paste.ubuntu.com/8517411/ [21:52] vaskozl: the problem is the program sitting at that port. not the port as such. so with no program sitting at that port its harmless [21:53] I just have my ssh ports and my https open. [21:53] *ssh port === dsan is now known as K-vector [21:53] k1l how do i figure out if it supports PAE [21:54] Finetundra: look into the documentation. i bet ibm still got them [21:54] where should i look in it. i have it pulled up === K-vector is now known as K-Vspace [21:55] Finetundra: see what cpus are build in and see if they do support PAR [21:55] *PAE [21:55] so as long as I make sure there are no exploitable programs sitting on open ports I should be fine or? [21:55] do ubuntu offer downloads of version right back to 1? [21:55] vaskozl: yes. and you can change the ssh port, use fail2ban etc. [21:55] oris: there is no 1 === K-Vspace is now known as dsan [21:56] oris: there is no 1, and only 12.04 and 14.04 are supported currently [21:56] where did it start? [21:56] k1l_: I've done both [21:56] !releases [21:56] Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 9 months to 5 years. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [21:56] i meant unsupported versions. i'd like to install really old versions of ubuntu. [21:56] is that possible? === Guest48946 is now known as daynaskully [21:57] oris: sure, but theres no point and they're probably full of vulnerabilities [21:58] they would only be installed on machines that arent connected to the internet [21:58] so not worried about vulnerabilities [21:58] still doesn't make any sense, but go for it [21:59] its like time travel for a nerd [21:59] or nerd-travel for time [22:00] :) === Hobbyboy is now known as Hobbyboy|Sleep [22:00] =stalk oris [22:00] o wait, wrong channel [22:00] sorry [22:01] !away > Hobbyboy|Sleep [22:01] Hobbyboy|Sleep, please see my private message [22:01] i have enough stalkers === Hobbyboy|Sleep is now known as Hobbyboy [22:03] how hard is it to setup an ubuntu website on my own home network, one that can serve a website to the external world.# [22:04] *server === neurotus is now known as Guest85171 === rrrre445534 is now known as the_mighty_bogan === Hobbyboy is now known as Hobbyboy|Sleep === sythe-away is now known as sythe [22:25] does debian work for non-PAE computers? [22:27] @Finetundra yes [22:28] how different is it from ubuntu? [22:28] not too much [22:28] ubuntu is a debian derivative, it uses debian backbone/kernel, but is 99% stable, whereas ubuntu is 90% stable === dodie|off is now known as dodie [22:29] do you guys recommend it for the machine i'm working with? === dodie is now known as Guest51718 [22:30] as a server yes, as a desktop client no. rather use ubuntu for desktops, debian for servers. [22:30] it has faaar better stability as a server, and won't 'chug' [22:31] well it doesn't seem that i can use ubuntu so that looks like the way i'll have to go [22:31] what is the scenario? what are you using it for? [22:32] well, I'll be using the machine for a server, as that is what it is, but other than that not too much [22:33] what services are you going to run? [22:33] what do you mean? [22:33] are you going to use the debian server as a proxy, web host, mail server, etc? === Guest9784 is now known as Sleepnbum [22:34] it'll be setup for RDP and maybe vnc [22:36] ok for multiple internal or external network clients, like from the local network or the internet? [22:36] hi [22:36] when i try connecting to my server through filezilla im getting this error : Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing [22:36] it used to work before [22:36] now it isnt [22:37] restarted it? [22:37] i had a boyfriend named Ubuntu once. he would "play the bongos" on my ass. [22:37] i had a boyfriend named Ubuntu once. he would "play the bongos" on my ass.. [22:37] i had a boyfriend named Ubuntu once. he would "play the bongos" on my ass... [22:37] i had a boyfriend named Ubuntu once. he would "play the bongos" on my ass.... [22:37] i had a boyfriend named Ubuntu once. he would "play the bongos" on my ass..... [22:37] i had a boyfriend named Ubuntu once. he would "play the bongos" on my ass...... [22:37] cryptozoic you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted [22:37] ^any active ops who would like to take action, it'd be muchly appreciated [22:37] benskev, both [22:38] ii did dafty [22:38] i restarted both the server and filezilla [22:38] and did you reconfigure SSH in some way? [22:38] nope [22:39] is filezilla connecting via SFTP, or FTP? [22:39] ftp [22:39] sounds like you broke your FTP server configuration then [22:39] read the logs in /var [22:39] * /var/log === shroud is now known as Guest6800 [22:39] ok [22:41] what am i reading in log [22:41] theres a bunch of files [22:42] kul: ok, you really should know the basics here before trying to administrate a server. look up logs for your chosen FTP server [22:43] kul: Sounds like perhaps a permissions error or you're missing something in the firewall. [22:43] o [22:43] kul: try reconfiguring your server using the template in /usr/share/ [22:43] ok [22:49] it says that error when i try to enter the html folder in ftp [22:49] what i the error code? [22:51] Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing [22:51] ok thats a file permissions error [22:51] you should use sftp instead of ftp [22:51] ok [23:01] what's the offtopic channel? [23:01] #ubuntu-offtopic [23:03] also, can you reccomend me a disc burning software that doesn't usually fail? [23:04] Finetundra, If you are having disk burn failures then it is likely either the media or the burner. Or both. [23:06] or burning too fast [23:07] Love Linux. Love Ubuntu. Thank you. [23:08] ObrienDave, how fast should i burning at? [23:08] as fast as is successful [23:09] that's a bit vague, could you be more exact? [23:10] as fast as you can without having to do it over and over [23:12] oops i seem to have misworded my first question. why is the burn constantly bad, (i.e. md5sum gives me different values for cd and the iso)? [23:12] hrm, that's suboptimal [23:13] Finetundra, because the ISO is an image of the finished CD. different contents [23:13] YESSSS [23:13] I FIGURED IT OUT [23:13] YAY [23:13] so why can't i boot from the disc? [23:14] figured what out, kul? === Zachary_DuBois is now known as Tokyo === Tokyo is now known as Zachary_DuBois [23:16] nothin [23:16] Finetundra: are you actually burning it as an image or are you putting it as a file on the disc [23:17] please don't say copying file to CD [23:17] Ben64, I'm right clicking the image and clicking open w/ xfburn, then telling it to start === pumba is now known as pumbaway === pumbaway is now known as pumba [23:18] whew, that should work then [23:18] ObrienDave, i'm not that stupid [23:18] Finetundra: what do you see when you open the disc in a file manager or something [23:18] never said you were. sheesh [23:19] right clicking the image and clicking open w/ xfburn, then telling it to start [23:19] ObrienDave, didn't say you were implying it [23:20] * ObrienDave saunters on down the road [23:20] Finetundra: and did you lower the burn speed as previously suggested? again, high burn speeds are susceptible to burn errors. try at 4X [23:20] squinty, ok [23:21] If a program crashes so badly that I am unable to use the mouse and keyboard, and unable to access the shell to use pkill, is that called a kernel panic? [23:22] squinty, what should the writem mode be? [23:24] squinty, or do i leavi it set to auto [23:25] Finetundra: no idea as have never used xfburn before. maybe someone else can jump in on that if you need to adjust it [23:25] I'll just go for it [23:26] Finetundra: running windows at all? if yes, might want to try Imgburn... it's never failed me over the years. just set the lower speed and burn [23:26] nope, no windows at all [23:27] Finetundra, ru in a ubuntu OS? [23:27] xubuntu [23:27] well maybe install ubuntu's brasero it does it kinda automatically [23:27] just an idea [23:27] LinusTourvaldsII: do they make xfburn for any other OS? [23:28] it knows when u are going to burn iso to image and u do not have to tell it that [23:28] well i can keep on this for quite awhile so i'll try that next [23:30] to answer your question squinty i have used kubutus burner in ubuntu i have used ubuntus burner in deepin u may install any of the mto any of those OS's [23:31] how do you install ruby-switch, apt-get says there's no candidate [23:31] !info ruby-switch [23:31] Package ruby-switch does not exist in trusty [23:31] LinusTourvaldsII: kinda missed the point but never mind [23:31] maybe a PPA? [23:32] it's like the drive is refusing to read the disc [23:33] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ruby-switch [23:34] Finetundra: not burning to a DVD disk and then trying to boot it in a CD only drive are you? :) [23:35] 5 discs in and this hasn't crossed my mind [23:35] i mentioned it only because a few ditros ago i was having trouble burning an OS...i switched to k3b (from kubuntu) and boom worked 1st time. i kept it until the next ubuntu came out and when back to brasero as it came in it-never had another issue. [23:36] thank you squinty === Guest85171 is now known as neurotus [23:36] Finetundra: yw [23:36] i must now go find a cd, or a dvd drive [23:37] won't fit on CD [23:37] only minimal image fits on CD [23:38] maybe lubuntu will fit on CD [23:39] normal lubuntu 14.04.1 is 729.8 mb i have it on disk in my hand [23:39] well 32 bit anyway [23:40] lubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-i386.iso 23-Jul-2014 00:15 696M Desktop image for PC (Intel x86) computers (standard download) [23:40] ubuntu server reads a a little over 500 megs [23:40] i wrote it on the disk so for some reason it gave me that reading [23:40] hmm will have to look a tthat [23:41] can debian install alongside ubuntu? [23:41] yes [23:41] awesome, does it matter which goes first? [23:41] no [23:41] if you use separate partitions. no, should not matter [23:41] cool [23:42] Any OS can be Dual booted last time ive known [23:44] Hmm out of curiousness could 1 dual boot on a single partition ? is there a way of doin that [23:44] Daryl, no, not a good idea [23:44] ah ok [23:44] yup it is under 700mb squinty my download file say 712704kb [23:48] hi === rush_ is now known as Guest56315 [23:50] squinty, i want to give you a hug. you have solved a problem that's been with my for about 2 weeks [23:51] Finetundra: lol! glad to hear it! btw...similar experiences over here to over the years so you are not the only one. :) [23:52] seriously though, thank you so much [23:53] I tried CUDA on an ubuntu-based distro, but my keyboard is slow to respond when I enable the CUDA graphics driver. v340. I use v304 (non-cuda) without problems. What could be my issue? [23:53] Finetundra: no problem..you are very welcome. :) [23:54] <_unreal_> DoYouKnow, have you checked your cpu load? : top or htop [23:54] yeah, it was fine, _unreal_ [23:54] just certain tasks were slow to respond [23:54] <_unreal_> and yet you have CPU lag? [23:54] <_unreal_> err keyboard [23:54] yeah, mainly keyboard [23:54] any input/output task [23:54] <_unreal_> did you try just or haha's a second keyboard? [23:55] nobody responded a while ago so I'll ask again: [23:55] If a program crashes so badly that I am unable to use the mouse and keyboard, and unable to access the shell to use pkill, is that called a kernel panic? [23:55] _unreal_: not yet [23:55] <_unreal_> ashley01, a kernel panic typically is displayed [23:55] <_unreal_> and asher1 you could always try SSHing into said machine to see if you can pkill via SSH [23:56] im not sure what you mean by SSHing. Is it network-related? If so I wouldn't have a clue! [23:57] <_unreal_> ssh'ing [23:57] <_unreal_> ashley01, do you know what SSH is? [23:57] a secure way of accessing something? [23:57] <_unreal_> that would be a no then [23:57] !ssh [23:57] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [23:57] <_unreal_> ashley01, are you a girl? just wondering [23:57] no im a guy, why does everyone keep assuming i am female? [23:58] ashley is both a male and female name that was unfortunately given to me [23:58] <_unreal_> um couph no reason [23:58] <_unreal_> in any case [23:59] ashley01: you might want to look into REISUB too. [23:59] !reisub [23:59] In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [23:59] oh nice [23:59] <_unreal_> do you have a second computer running on your if your home, home network that is linux [23:59] no
